Phase 1 construction

Phase 1 construction of the 17 Avenue S.E. BRT project continues and is on track for completion this fall. We remain committed to maintaining access to 17 Avenue S.E. during construction. It's important this area remains a vibrant place where people can visit, enjoy a meal, and get to where they need to go. We are working to keep four lanes of traffic open during peak times, with two lanes in each direction whenever possible so we can keep the traffic moving.

Phase 1 engagement

Throughout the design process, we've talked to Calgarians, the International Avenue BRZ, and local businesses to understand how the project would impact them.

Project overview

The City is designing and building a Transitway on 17 Avenue S.E. to reduce travel times and increase reliability for Calgarians traveling to and through the southeast. The project will also provide safety improvements for people walking and cycling.
